Wadia 7, Information & Operation Manual

Wadia 7 CD TRANSPORT

DIGITAL OUTPUTS: 

For maximum convenience and functionality the Wadia 7 Compact

Disc Transport provides four formats for connection of the digital signal to other components
in the system.

The ST type glass optical connector provides the highest quality digital transmission format
and should be used when associated equipment have this type of connector for receiving a
digital signal. A high quality glass optical cable is provided along with the Wadia 7 Compact

Disc Transport.

The EIAJ standard plastic optical connector is the least reliable method of digital

interconnection, but is provided for the convenience of those who have only this method of

digital input on their associated equipment.

Coaxial digital interconnection is available through a high quality BNC type connector. If this

method of interconnection is chosen, it would be recommended that the cable of your choice
be terminated with a BNC type connector. A BNC to RCA adapter is provided with the

Wadia 7 Compact Disc Transport for those who would like to experiment with a number of
coaxial cables prior to having one terminated with a BNC connector.

The AES/EBU format is provided through an XLR type connector. When using this method of
digital transmission, be sure that the pin configuration on the associated equipment matches
that of the Wadia 7 Compact Disc Transport (Pin 1: Ground, Pin 2: Not Inverted Signal, Pin

3: Inverted Signal).

There are also (3) user defined control settings on the Rear Panel of the Wadia 7

Compact Disc Transport. All three controls can be set with a screwdriver or with the
key which locks the transport mechanism in place during shipping.
